WhoSay was launched in 2010 within CAA, a talent mega-agency, to give the firm's celebrity clients more control over how their photos were being used online.

AMC's new reality show pits agencies against each other for real client business, but they're not able to find any agencies to participate. Kodak and Yahoo are on board as clients.

"Coffee Business Strategies blog did a little sleuthing, and believes otherwise. The site claims that Stark works as vp of application architecture for Mobiquity Inc., whose clients possibly include Starbucks.

""With YouTube external annotations, we're trying to make it a very seamless process," said Lisa Green, industry director at Google. "If while you're watching it, you see something you really want, you can click... We've allowed the user to make the decision to make the purchase" in the video. The beta feature is available to all existing clients, although Google won't disclose how many advertisers have shown interest or signed up thus far. Juicy Couture, one of the first brands to adopt the shoppable feature, released a new video directed by Terry Richardson featuring Candice Swanepoel at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel. The fashion label features nineteen different products in the second video. YouTube's shoppable video ads will display a shaded rectangle in the middle of the screen whenever a product appears. When a user rolls over that embedded video link, the product name is displayed with a link to the purchase page. Google's product and sales teams are working with advertisers to bring these new ads into their videos on YouTube, Green said."

"In the case of Electiongrams, NBC is relying on a start-up called Chute that provides back-end tools for large-scale photo management to brands and large media companies.

"The survey polled 80 ad shops earlier this month with 47% of respondents saying their clients are waiting until after the elections to advertise in order to avoid competing with political buys. Strata surmised that the finding suggests that advertisers are concerned about future costs. That finding is also a significant shift from a similar survey done in the second quarter, when a majority of agencies polled said they were willing to compete with political advertisers, and only 18% said they would wait to advertise until after the elections."

"In addition to keeping Apple at bay, DiClemente believes the studios could even survive a scenario in which cord-cutting became so pervasive that distributors were forced to do away with their bundled channel packages. That's because the broadcasters that are their primary clients wouldn't be affected. "The programs airing on the broadcast nets would maintain the reach needed to create demand for that content in later windows," wrote DiClemente."

Customers acquired via Twitter are worth 23 percent less, and Facebook brings in just barely average clients. But pay-per-click advertising brings in customers worth 46 percent more, and organic search brings in buyers who are worth a massive 54 percent more than your average customer.

The company has 125 3D printers running in tandem and controlled by a central server. Jobs go in, are printed, and shipped out immediately. They have printed over 25,000 pieces so far for clients like Universal, Viacom, and Chipotle.

This could really come in handy for matching clients with pop up space. But more often we'll be able to use it to see what pop-ups are going on. Once it gets more developed, that is (not a lot of entries yet).
